"The American Century Emerging Markets Fund achieved strong outperformance in Q3 2025, buoyed by the global AI infrastructure buildout and a recovery in Chinese markets. Management remains constructive on EM relative to developed markets, prioritizing companies with strong financials and attractive valuations."
Executive Summary
The American Century Emerging Markets Fund outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, during the third quarter of 2025. This performance was driven by an overall double-digit advance in EM equities, particularly Chinese markets and information technology stocks linked to global AI infrastructure and supply chains. Positive performance from key contributors like Zhongji Innolight, Delta Electronics, and Montage Technology supported gains, while detractors included Xiaomi, ICICI Bank, and an underweight to Alibaba. The management team maintained active positioning by exiting China State Construction International (CSCI) and BYD due to structural headwinds in Chinese real estate and EV price competition. Looking forward, the team maintains a constructive posture based on expected Fed interest rate cuts, solid EM growth outlooks, and supportive Chinese policy measures.
